Six months have passed since Kratos stood over the bodies of his wife and child, his hands stained with their blood – tricked by Ares into murdering the only people he ever loved. Swearing to avenge them, Kratos broke the blood oath that bound him to Ares, but oaths to Olympus are not so easily broken… Sentenced to an eternity chained within a prison for the living damned, Kratos battles insanity at the hands of the Furies. He will be tested as he seeks freedom, redemption for his sins, and the clarity to avenge his family.

2. Tomb RaiderRelease Date: March 6Platforms: PC, 360, PS3Description: The first true Tomb Raider game since 2008's Tomb Raider: Underworld is here to reintroduce Lara Croft in a way you've never seen her before: as a weak, defenseless girl.

This is more than a reboot. It's a reimagining of the entire character, letting you help to shape the actions of a woman who would become a fearless adventurer. But for now, she's just doing her best to survive an island full of nightmarish animals and the worst kinds of mercenaries.

You want to dual-wield semi-automatic pistols? Too bad. In this environment, a bow and arrow are your best, and only, friends. You want to dive through a crowd of pirates, blasting away indiscriminately? This Lara Croft needs to learn how to sneak around them instead. No one gets to start their lives as one of the greatest female video game heroes of all time. Tomb Raider is the game where you earn that title.

He must rescue Elizabeth, a mysterious girl imprisoned since childhood and locked up in the flying city of Columbia. Forced to trust one another, Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond during their daring escape. Together, they learn to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and abilities, as they fight on zeppelins in the clouds, along high-speed Sky-Lines, and down in the streets of Columbia, all while surviving the threats of the air-city and uncovering its dark secret.
